In a torn society that we live in, l can only imagine how immigrants and refugees survive. This is an interesting collection of plays!

It is interesting to come across plays. It is definitely not your everyday book. I read a few in the past and I'm not particularly interested in this genre. Although I like content that is "good for the mind", I think I'll pass this one.
Thank you for the insightful review!

This sounds completely fascinating, coming from a Middle Eastern's perspective. Many thanks for the informative review.

I do prefer prose however, so I think I'll give this a miss.

One guy once said, "if we had an opportunity to listen to Satan's side of the story we'd think differently than what we are doing now". When you read plays written by westerners, their pain is different. The ones from the east have different themes and express a very different perception. So insightful.

I really enjoy reading plays, but I don't know if this one is for me. The theme of feeling out of place is something that caught my interested, but I don't know about how the author organized them. I might give it a try. Thanks for the informative review! Great job.

The book's title is captivating. It is true that the news we get of the events around the world aren't always as they seem. It is great to view the world from a perspective of people who actually lived the experience. Congrats on being the BOTD.

An anthology of dramas that revolve around refugees seems engrossing.

Thank you for the great review.

I am sorry to hear that there were some errors in this book. Drama and plays are not the genres I enjoy, so I will not read this book. Anyway, thanks for the professional review.
